STEPH DEROSA: SHOPPING AND DRINKING ON SIXTH AVENUE >>>
Is it just me? Or does the word “stimulate†send your mind into a perverted frenzy also? Whenever someone tells me they are going to “stimulate the economy†I automatically imagine them naked and in the throes of shopping foreplay. Well, I’ve definitely got something you can “stimulate†yourself with in more ways than one â€" the Sixth Avenue District of Tacoma.
For not just one, but for every Thursday evening in December from 6-9 p.m. ending Dec. 18, Christmas shoppers can get that genuine “boutique†shopping experience â€" with an added flair. Independent Sixth Avenue businesses including Posh Home, Urban Gourmet, The Shoe Show, Red Line, Jewel Day Spa, and Far & Wide are labeling themselves as “your hip holiday squad†and giving an intimate, fun-filled shopping experience for you to enjoy. Each shop will have holiday-inspired drinks and treats such as chocolate martinis and warm appetizers. Dude, did you just hear me? I said “chocolate†and “martini†in the same sentence. That right there is enough to stimulate me like no other.
So drink like a fish and spend like Donald Trump, I assure you the stimulation will last for more than one evening as you help an independent business and buy local. I’ll even let you in on a savings secret: Stop by one of the aforementioned shops and pick up a 15 percent off coupon. From what I hear, a discount like that for Posh Home is unheard of.
